Another callback.config plea for help

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hello All!

Ok, WHAT am I over looking? I have looked through the mgetty.texi
over and over and still can't figure out what needs to be placed
in the callback.config file (and the format it needs to be in). :<

What I want to do is:
	1) Require ALL logins via modem to have to input a phone number
		for callback.
	2) Upon callback, logins should authenticate using /bin/login and
		startup a ppp session.

(Note: No one should ever be able to log in without a callback and
the callback number should be "dynamic" so I don't need to specify
it in the dialin.config file.)

I am running Linux 4.2 (2.0.32) and mgetty+sendfax (by Gert Doering
experimental test release 1.1.9-Aug17).

Currently I have login.config setup with:
	*  -  @  /usr/sbin/callback -S
which of course always calls me back...never allowing me to run pppd.

Previously, I had it set to:
  *  -  @ /bin/login
which lets me login, and manually start pppd.

I figure the (non-existant) callback.config file is where my
problem(s) lie. The only error(s) I see in the callback log is:
12/29 03:25:26 no config file found:/etc/mgetty+sendfax/callback.config
(Which of course is because I don't have one.... :< )
Can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks in advance!
